Food and Drink Options

Complimentary breakfast is a big bonus, especially if you had a late night. While there’s no on-site restaurant, plenty of local eateries are within walking or short driving distance. Each room includes a microwave, fridge, and coffee maker—perfect for late-night snacks or early-morning caffeine. Vending machines offer quick bites around the clock.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about rest and recharge, you’re just a short ride away from Tampa’s nightlife scene. The downtown area, South Howard (SoHo), and Ybor City are all nearby offering bars, clubs, and live music spots. It’s easy to catch a rideshare or drive yourself for a night out.

What People Say

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel is a bit dated in areas, and the WiFi can be spotty at times. There’s no on-site bar or restaurant, so you’ll need to venture out for meals beyond breakfast—but with Tampa’s food scene, that’s not a bad thing!

The Bottom Line

Hotel South Tampa & Suites is a budget-friendly and comfortable base for concert-goers who want easy venue access, free perks, and a quiet place to crash after the show.
